Dr. Teitelbaum - Cohesive Silicone Gel Breast Implant Expert

 

 

Steven Teitelbaum, MD of Santa Monica

Cohesive Silicone Gel Breast Implant Expert

Many of Dr. Teitelbaum's patients choose him to be their surgeon specifically because of his expertise with cohesive gel implants (also known as "gummy-bear implants" because the gel has a consistency similar to that of the candy). Widely popular in Europe because of their natural-looking and -feeling results, these implants are now available from just a few surgeons in the United States. Dr. Teitelbaum has been using them in studies since 2000 and is one of the most experienced providers in the country. He is the only surgeon in the state of California who was asked to participate in the clinical trials of all three cohesive implant manufacturers. And because of his extensive, excellent results, Dr. Teitelbaum is one of the most frequently requested lecturers on this topic in the United States,, and he has traveled to places as far away as Asia, Europe and Africa to share his cohesive breast implant expertise with other surgeons.

Cohesive gel implants offer a soft and supple feel with the added benefit of being relatively leak-free due to the nature of the silicone. It is this consistency that allows the implants to maintain the commonly requested teardrop shape. While the edges of the implant blend gradually into the surrounding tissue, the thinner top of the implant slopes gently down to a fuller bottom half, creating the most natural possible breast contour. Plus, clinical studies have demonstrated that cohesive implants have the lowest rate of capsular contracture (hardening of the breasts) and leakage of any implant ever studied.

Dr. Teitelbaum is an enthusiastic supporter of this new technology, and is developing the educational material that one implant manufacturer will use to credential surgeons who wish to use them following FDA approval. As excited as he is about these implants, he does not believe they are ideal for everyone. He always works with each patient to determine exactly what size and type of implant is right for her, and would never automatically recommend cohesive implants. When you come in for your consultation, you and Dr. Teitelbaum can explore if they might be right for you. In the meantime, we encourage you to visit Dr. Teitelbaum's special website, www.cohesiveimplants.com to learn more about this exciting new technology and all it has to offer.
